She adored and loved children in general, especially her grandson Jace, she also wanted to one day hold her great grandchild Chase, but she never got that opportunity. She loved to read her book called mornings with Jesus everyday. She never had much time for hobbies. But once in a while the two would go to the casinos for some fun together. In her free time she was a great flagman and announcer for Brandon and Grandpa at the raceway in the driveway. She would play cards with Mike and his friends. Because of her loving, laughable personality her son's friends would often ask how "Bruiser" was doing. She loved to watch for Cardinals outside her window and had many in her home.

God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be. He closed His arms around her and whispered "Come to me" In tears we saw you sinking we watched you fade away. Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully, free from pain. We would not wish you back to suffer that again. So treasure her Lord in your garden of rest. For here on earth Donna was one of the best. We wish to thank Father Louis,deacon Brad, and Marrianne for their thoughts and prayers. In lieu of flowers or gifts, making a donation to thee Ronald McDonald house or St. Jude Hospital in her name would be appreciated. I LOVE YOU mommy bear,you were my life.----Jerry
